Toolcat 5600
Has anyone figured out a way to not get stuck on muddy ground in the Toolcat 5600, traction seems terrible in muddy condition, also ground clearance is not to good! Any solutions?

I am pretty sure it is impossible to put track on a toolcat, but not 100% certain??? If anyone knows please let me know!

They should come with tires similar to this. If mine ever get worn out, I would consider these.

I am not certain those Titan tires have a high enough load capacity!

At $420(list) per tire they should make a difference. I wonder if there would be any rubbing issues at full turn in 4WS.

I have seen other models in similar size with higher load ratings. These are the kind of tires put on trenchers. The price however is a bit rediculous and it could require the wider rims used on the TC turf tires.
Ideally a deeper lug tire, like R1 tires on tractors would be more ideal.
The TC is not a good machine for the mud. Poor tires and no clearance.

Your issues have less to do with the mud than the design of the machine, which is optimized for gardening, not off road applications.
